Wtf I love English (and all other languages I study) and science.

better than english and science

Maths is good.

How can one like math...

I see some business opportunities for us mathematically inclined folk. We could start a EM maths/science homework service... at a price.

thank you @vedd @apollo @ghostrider @japter

Haha, true, Japter got first dibs on the correct explanation :)

Vedd says

I'm applying to LSE and Oxford for either a mathematical economics degree or for econ and philosophy, maybe finance if I feel like it

oxford succ come cambridge

hey i wrote the same thing in less words

do you know the working out for part b ive been told how to do it i just dont get why

also thanks for help

If I may give my input~

So given four dice of which only 1 should be a six, the probabilities:
* Three of the dice can be anything but a six, therefore each of them has a 5/6 chance of NOT being a six.
* One die should be exactly a 6, therefore a 1/6 chance of that happening.

The probability for ONE arrangement where you have exactly 1 six, is then (5/6)*(5/6)*(5/6)*(1/6) = 125 / 1296

However, the six can be at any one of 4 positions, and therefore 4 different arrangements with a fixed position for the 6. We then have the possibility for ONE arrangement times 4:

(125 / 1296) * 4 = 125 / 324

for b) you need to calculate the probability that you get one 6 and 3 not 6s which is 1/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6. you then need to multiply by 4 because the 6 can be on any of the 4 die.

Yeah I'm doing the same, it's pretty much the norm here in India. It's not very easy to get good pay if you don't hold a masters' degree

he dove right into grad school tho lol

yeah but I'm already doing my bachelors' degree in Mumbai, I will be applying there for my masters'

a B.Sc. in economics is always 3 years

i think thats cause their econ program is only 3 years long for undergrad

my friend graduated from lse w/ a bachelors in econ in 3 yrs

I'm applying to LSE and Oxford for either a mathematical economics degree or for econ and philosophy, maybe finance if I feel like it

what do u plan to do after u secure ur bachelors degree

I'm a math major

sineadiio says

i prefer calculus to this

calculus is also a cool section

probability is ok

I'm studying economics not engineering m8

i prefer calculus to this
